DRAKE POV

The faint pain in my knuckles was a reminder of the rage and despair that had consumed me just few minutes ago. I stood in front of Elara’s door with a heavy heart and raised my hand, the one in bandages, to knock softly and braced myself instantly for the storm of tears, cursing and accusations that will soon follow.

But the door flew open before I could knock.

And Elara stood there. She looked….shrunken. The vibrant, cunning, and often overbearing proud princess was gone. Instead, she looked like a pale ghost. Her eyes, which was usually sparkling with defiance or filled with anger, were now wide and vulnerable. She did not greet me. She did not scream. She just stared through me and whispered croakingly.

“Who is she?”

Even though I was expecting this question, it still hit me hard like a physical blow and my heart dropped as I saw her like this. This was not the reaction of an angry she wolf, this was the agony of a woman whose entire world had just crumbled.

    DRAKE POVI stood on the balcony. The same spot where I used to stand with Lillian. It felt like years ago now.I could not get her out of my mind. But I had to. She was not mine.My thoughts jumped to the kiss with Elara. I tried to shake the memory away, with disgust on my face, but it stuck in my mind like glue.The strange thing was, when I thought about it now, the disgust was not as strong. Maybe because Elara hand not been her horrible self lately. But still….could I trust her? Ever?I did not know how long I stood there. Minutes maybe. When I finally moved, I found myself standing outside Elena’s door. Lillian mother’s plant room.Before I could knock, the door opened and Elena was waking back inside, with a huge pair of gardening scissors in her hand.“Alpha Drake,” she said without looking surprised. “Come in. You are letting the good air out.”I stepped inside. The room was warm and smelled of earth and flowers. “I am sorry for intruding.”She waved the scissors at me. “Non

    LILLIAN POVI sat alone in the mansion living room, as I tried desperately not to stare at Andre and Willow, who were talking and laughing about some old memory. Willow’s hands were moving as she spoke, and Andre was smiling, a relaxed smile I had not seen in a while.As I did not want to look jealous, I had to look away.I saw Salome and Lucas out on the balcony. They were having a heated discussion. Salome’s arms were crossed. Lucas was gesturing with his hands and I knew exactly what they were arguing about. Me. Us. Her.I suddenly felt too hot sitting there. I needed to move.So I stood up and walked to the dining area. Lydia was there, arranging dishes.“Need help?” I asked.Lydia smiled at me with a knowing look in her eyes, but she did not say anything. She just handed me some forks and I started to set them around the table.I tried to focus on the silverware. In the plates. But my mind was on Dr. Wanni and Baron. How close they stood. They way they talked. Old friends.“May I

    ANDRE POVLydia hurried off to help set the table for dinner and Lillian went with her, after she gave me a small smile as she left the room. Willow was talking to me in the sitting hall, telling me about her Buisness plans in the city. But my mind was somewhere else.I could see Salome and Lucas out in the balcony, and they were talking in hushed tones. Salome’s arms were crossed, and I knew what that meant.“Willow, please excuse me for a moment,” I said. “Ofcourse,” she said with a kind smile on her face.I walked out to the balcony, and welcomed the cool evening air as it hit my face.As soon as I stepped out, Salome scoffed loudly and Lucas shot her a stern look. “I know what this is about,” I said without any preamble.“Do you?” Salome asked sharply.“Willow is just my friend,” I said, as I desperately tried to keep my voice calm. “She is a good person. You should give her a chance to show you that.”Salome shook her head. “I am not doubting if she is a good person, Andre. Inf

    DRAKE POVI sat alone in the dining hall, working through the pack reports, with the only sound echoing on the hall was my pen scratching across the paper.Then I heard a faint giggle from the doorway.I looked up. Sharon was heading against the doorframe, watching me with a sly smile on her face.I rolled my eyes. “Do not even think about messing with me today, Sharon. I am not in the mood.”She walked lazily towards the table. “Things just got more interesting around here.”“What do you mean?”She giggled. “Oh poor Lillian.”I frowned. “What about Lillian?”“She does not stand a chance against Andre’s new bestie,” Sharon said, with her voice filled with fake pity.I growled. “Excuse me. I am busy. And for your information, Andre’s guest has a name. It is Willow.”Sharon ignored me. Instead she pulled out the chair right beside me and sat down. Our legs touched briefly under the table and I quickly shifted mine away.“She is Andre’s bestie to me,” Sharon said and leaned closer. “You

    LILLIAN POVThe funny feeling about Baron and Wanni was still there in the back of my mind. It was like a small, sharp rock in my shoe. I walked over to the table full of cakes. Salome was there, looking very serious at six different kinds.As soon as she saw me, her face lit up. “Lillian!” She cried, and pulled me into a big hug.I smiled. “Have you had anything to drink?”But she waved her hand dismissively, “One glass of champagne won’t hurt me. But these cakes! Which one? The chocolate or the strawberry?” Then she looked at me closer. “What have you up to? You look thoughtful.”I sighed deeply. “Dr. Wanni introduced me to….Baron.”Salome’s eyes went wide. “Baron? The Baron? For the hospital? How did they know each other?”“I do not know,” I said quietly. “Wanni said they are old friends. Their families go way back.”Salome glanced across the room. Wanni and Baron were talking now, their heads close together. They did not look like they were at a fun party. They looked serious. “Li

    ANDRE POVI sat in my room by the fire, watching Willow tell a story, with her hands moving as she spoke.“….and little Andre, you stood on that old log. You said you were king of the whole forest! You made me promise to obey you. I had to bring you acorns every day for a week.”I laughed genuinely, even though it sounded rusty in my ears, due to disuse, it felt good. “I forgot about that.”“I have not,” she said with a soft smile on her face. “They are good memories. The only good ones from before…..everything.”I watched her. She was a friend from my childhood, someone I had not seen in years. All day, I had been busy with her. Listening to her stories about when we were kids. Watching her to see what kind of person she was now. She was not cold and mean like Sharon and Elara. She was just Willow. Kind. Easy to be with.Then a sharp pang of guilt twisted my gut. Lillian.I had promised to keep in touch today. I had meant to. But the day passed quickly with Willow, and I forgot.“You
